What Keeps Us Afloat

The Flavor of Green Tea over Rice (1952)

Finished reading Jasmine Guillory’s debut novel. I had decided to pick up this one after having read her follow-up novel, The Proposal. Although I liked the second book’s plot better, The Wedding Date will not fail to give you the feels over Alexa and Drew. If you are a huge romantic comedy fan and is just not satisfied enough with the slew of rom-com films in recent years, then this novel is definitely for you! I was never much into romance novels (because I agree, they do not always have the greatest plots and characterization), but The Wedding Date will definitely fulfill your light-read craving... and make you wonder, how is it not a Netflix movie yet?

-- quote from Sisters

I always bring up this show in conversations every chance I get. How can you not love this show’s penchant for making huge references to pop culture [and goofing around with them], incorporating such into bits as unnoticeable as the characters’ witty remarks and as major as the entire episodes’ theme. The above GIFs are the show’s homage to (from top to bottom) David Lynch’s Twin Peaks, Alfred Hitchcock films, and Stanley Kubrick’s The Shining.
